Smoak and Mears: White Sox in First

A team that has a left fielder that has never played left field, a closer that has never closed, a first year starting centerfielder, a third baseman without a home run and a manager that has never coached. Introducing your first place Chicago White Sox.

Oh yeah a minor league hitting coach and Chris Sale who has never started as a professional. Other then that this team should be pretty good.

Smoke and mirrors. So far so good. Lets see what happens in June. The good news is they play a few weak NL teams. That should keep the south side faithful dreams alive for another month.
Come July they have only 9 home games. 9. Tell me that wont hurt the in the pocket book for the Sox. Of course come September when everyone is back at school and work the White Sox have 19 homes games. Go figure. 2012 is a wacky one.
